Arrowhead Park is a large, beautiful, park just east of the city limits of Sioux Falls. The 131 acre park is dedicated to the appreciation and preservation of nature. It overlooks the Big Sioux River Valley from the eastern highlands making a fantastic sunrise view.  The entire park was donated to the city for a nature park by the generous and knowledgeful Dale Weir.
